After months of swirling rumors and tantalizing leaks, it appears that Bethesda is on the brink of officially unveiling the much-anticipated remaster of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. The announcement is slated for tomorrow at 11:00 am EST, and fans can catch the reveal live on both YouTube and Twitch.
In a recent tweet from the official Bethesda account, the excitement was palpable, though the specifics of the announcement were kept under wraps. However, the prominent "IV" and a background strikingly similar to iconic Oblivion artwork left little room for doubt about what's coming.
The journey to this point has been filled with speculation. Initial whispers of an Oblivion remaster surfaced in 2020, thanks to a leaked Bethesda release schedule from the FTC vs. Microsoft trial in 2023, which hinted at a planned release for fiscal year 2022. Although the timeline had passed, making it seem like a potentially canceled project, the buzz reignited in January of this year with leaks suggesting a full-blown remake in collaboration with Virtuos. The rumors reached a fever pitch just last week when further leaks from Virtuos' website showcased the remake in action, seemingly confirming the project's existence.
If these recent leaks hold true, The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered is set to launch on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation. Fans can look forward to not only the standard version but also a Deluxe Edition, which will include the iconic horse armor.
Be sure to tune in tomorrow for what promises to be a thrilling confirmation and more detailed insights into this long-awaited remaster.
